10 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About The Legend Of Zelda

I’ll be honest with you, I didn’t grow up with Zelda games. My first Zelda game was Twilight Princess for the Wii and I only started playing the other classic games last year. Whilst I’ve enjoyed playing them a tad I’ve had to accept the fact that I can’t write articles or have a negative opinion on the games without appearing as some sort of poser or “edgy” guy.

I know that sounds silly, but I’ve read the comments you guys leave for other article writers who are new to a game genre and all I can say is that you guys are nasty, you play dirty. I may harp on about EA and Call of Duty (that’s right, they’re going to be mentioned in every article baby) but that’s because I’ve developed a hatred for them over years, it’s a hatred that’s refined and has become a small part of me.

That being said, for my first article on Zelda I’ve decided to go with a nice positive article, that’s right no sarcastic comments or witty one-liners, no sir. With that in mind I decided to give you guys a treat, not only is this article putting Zelda in a good light but it’s going to reward you all with a few juicy secrets that you may not have known. You see playing games is fun, no argument there; well unless it’s a game by EA where you have to set up a monthly subscription to have fu–no, not going down that road.

When you’ve finished the game though, what more can you do? Sure you can have a another few play-throughs over the years but the novelty soon wears off. Now I may be different here but what I look to do is pop on to the internet and read up about the games, perhaps there’s some sort of bonus level I missed or there are a few quirky secrets I didn’t see at first. With such a massive series as The Legend of Zelda you’re bound to find a lot of things you didn’t know about the games, so strap in as I show you the ten things you didn’t know about The Legend of Zelda…

One of the most amazing things about being a rabid Zelda fan is that you keep on discovering nifty new Zelda facts and lore. Being one of those fans since Link’s Awakening (1st version), it was great to actually learn a few new “things” in this article. Thanks!

One of my favs is the habitual Nintendo references inside Zelda games (Evil Kirby in Link’s Awakening DX, anyone?).

With the internet allowing people all over the world to share ideas it’s much easier to discover secrets that were otherwise unknown. With a series like Legend of Zelda I doubt there are any more secrets out there that aren’t widely known now.

As for Square Enix? Well I sit around hoping that they’ll go back to the good old days without QTEs and where they concentrated more on the story than how shiny everything looked and how much bare skin they could show.
